Abstract:

Purpose of this study is to investigate the controllability of examination costs per case. For this purpose, document review was conducted with the permission of the hospital management. 10 policlinic working groups were established during the period of January and June 2012. The cases regarding the examination costs per case which are above or below the limits set by the health application regulation were determined in the hospital that research was conducted. It can be said that the cost per case application does not constitute any negatives for hospitals. However, because the hospital exceeded the limit of the cost per case by 172.247,67 TL in six months SGK doesn’t make any payment for the exceeding part. Examination cost per case model limits healthcare organizations for medical tests, causes material loss and affect hospitals financially because they can’t receive the exceeding part from SGK.
